The one and only "Cargo" A380

Post by YS11 »

Hi Fly's reconfigures its sole A380 for cargo operations

Hi Fly has created extra cargo capacity on its A380 (9H-MIP) by removing economy seats from much of the aircraft. This is to meet the increased demand for cargo during the Covid-19 crisis.

The specially configured aircraft now offers more than 300 square meters of cargo volume, for close to 60 tons of cargo. According to the photo released on the airline social media, apparently both decks of the plane were reconfigured.

The project to convert the 'Whale' in a full cargo plane was promoted in early May by Lufthansa Technik that stated they even had a request from an A380 owner for such a conversion but declined to name the airline.
